COON RAPIDS, MN (CNN/RNN) – As Minnesota fire crews gathered to honor and remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a majestic American symbol, the bald eagle, swooped in to join the ceremony.

The eagle's surprise landing while firefighters held their annual 9/11 remembrance on a highway overpass was captured Tuesday morning on Facebook Live video by Andover Fire Chief Jerry Streich.

"Isn't that unbelievable?" said Streich in the video. "This eagle just landed on the aerial while we're doing the 9/11 memorial – phenomenal."

For the event, firefighters from the Andover department as well as those from the Coon Rapids Fire Department and Ramsey Fire Department set up various vehicles and posted American flags on the overpass, the Star Tribune reports.

"We will never forget," read a banner draped over the railing.

The firefighters, along with military veterans, spent time waving to motorists passing below the overpass.

"We are blessed at Andover to have so many friends and supporters. I hope you all continue to cherish the amazing patriotism we have in this country and in our community," the department wrote on Facebook.

A bald eagle stopped by Andover Fire Department’s 9/11 memorial service in Minnesota today. I can’t think of a better way to honor the firefighters who responded to the scene 17 years ago.https://t.co/isrPdtLmrs
